IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Jord]

@RoxRocks86 Great fit, I normally try "size up" in the 555 for extra thigh room, I also missed out on the 888/634 XHSib drops so maybe need to wait until next time...

I suspect your vans might change colour whilst wearing them!

[RoxRocks86]

@Jord thanks! I know most size for thighs. Good to know what measurements work for your body type. Only recently learned about it after gaining some mass in thighs

I typically only need waist measurements to see if the denim fit will “work” and only add thighs if I want a specific fit if the table measurements don’t align with what works for me.

As for the sneakers, love a nice new pair! But honestly not too concerned since they’re a back up pair for work so the little use they get atm is just to break them in. The off white is lovely for the time being

Happy to break in a new pair of xhsib’s

Editing to add - the thighs on these are very loose, even after washing. Overall, the fit is a typical 555 slim fit. Planning to continue wearing this pair even though it’s slimmer than I was hoping. It’s still loose enough to enjoy movement even in the warmest of temps in comparison to my tailored 777’s.

@Jord what other model do you plan to go for? Unless you’re set on waiting until the next restock.

@RoxRocks86 I haven't ever tried a 666... so tempted, but saying that I own a lot of pairs right now and don't even know what to focus on haha. I've also only owned one pair of 777's but the rise is just to small for me, I tend to go 555/634/888's.

I have a few pairs of the UHR (634/888 fits) so might wear them during this summer (summer in Scotland is mild so I don't mind them in the heat)

The 555's were my first IH cut though, so I have a soft spot for them, I love my old faded jeans!

Enjoy your new jeans, they look killer!

@RoxRocks86 fit looks amazing!! I love that the xhs 555 cuts are a little roomier than the lighterweight ones, my 555 xhsbb fit more like an 888 and that's why I decided to keep them after realising that 555 is not the cut for me. Excited to see what you do with them!

[RoxRocks86]

@Jord It’s a blessing and a curse to have too many pairs of denim in various cuts. I reckon you would do well in the 666 cut if you want a slimmer leg profile of the 634.

Lucky you with nice summer temps! Must be awesome being able to comfortably wear some of the heavier denims while everyone else is sweating indigo

[RoxRocks86]

@FlavourFade thank you! I’m starting to appreciate denim with a bit more room. Definitely noticing the difference that it makes especially in heavy denim like these.

Crazy how your 555 xhsbb’s fit like 888’s. Do you size the same for both 555 & 888?

[FlavourFade]

@RoxRocks86 same for me!! Always liked the fitted cuts but since I went 634 I never looked back, like how it looks and appreciate the extra room especially with the thighs since I started to lift weights again couple years ago.

The 555xhsbb are a bit of a unicorn, I sized them like I would size an 888 but they are just inbetween a 555 and an 888 and I love them

@RoxRocks86 The fit on your 555's is excellent!

[RoxRocks86]

@FlavourFade ah yeah, sometimes certain runs have anomalies in sizing. Glad you found your cut! Saw your pics of the 634, they suit you well!

I’m currently fighting (losing atm) to keep the gains I acquired to fit the 888’s & 555’s without any tailoring.

[RoxRocks86]

@yannis thank you! it’s always a gamble if the 555 cut will work, so happy it does with these!

[FlavourFade]

@RoxRocks86 thanks Rox!! Yeah I know a little bit about fighting to not have to exchange the wardrobe every season
